EP1 The Living Island Sep 09, 1967

Kaboobie gets tired while flying Chuck and Nancy and they stop at the nearest island without caution, even though Shazzan had recently warned them to beware The Hunter, who, of course, happens to live on the island. When they get there, they are captured and The Hunter informs them that all who come to The Living Island become his quarry, before making them so.

EP2 Master of the Thieves Sep 09, 1967

The Master of Thieves, who wields a magic whip that can change people into whatever his whims desire, has a servant go out to bring him treasure to add to his collection. The servant, Joseph, decides to steal Kaboobie, Chuck and Nancy’s flying camel, given to them by Shazzan. He follows them and, during a magic show, sees Chuck brag about taking the magician down a peg. He tries the Cloak of Invisibility, but the magician outwits him. So then he gets Nancy to press their rings together to call Shazzan. When Joseph sees this, he decides the rings will be a greater prize for his master.

Shazzan is an American animated television series, created by Alex Toth and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in 1967 for CBS.

During their journey they face several dangers, but they are always helped by Shazzan, a genie with magical powers out of this world. Shazzan is not to be confused with Shazam!, the 1970s comic book/television revival of Golden Age super hero Captain Marvel, created by C. C. Beck and Bill Parker.

Reviews

bard-32 Chuck and Nancy, (no last names,) found a mysterious ring in a chest, "Inside a cave, off the coast of Maine." The introduction tells us that "when joined, the two halves form the word Shazzan, and they are magically sent back to the fabled land of the Arabian Nights..." There, they meet their genie, Shazzan, who'll serve them when called upon but he can't return them home until they return the ring to its rightful owner. Shazzan also presents them with a magical flying camel named Kabubbi. The title of this review's an example of one of the cries for help Chuck and Nancy always made to Shazzan.I used to watch it when I was little, and then again, when it was on in syndication back in the early 1980s. The cartoon was very loosely based on the Arabian Nights. One episode had Aladdin, and even the African Magician, (named Jaffar in the Disney movie,) but I digress. Anyway, Chuck and Nancy were always getting into trouble, and had to bailed out by Shazzan. Good show. Too bad it wasn't longer.
Carycomic That's what CBS called its 1967-68 Saturday morning line-up, featuring THE HERCULOIDS; MOBY DICK AND THE MIGHTY MIGHTOR; and--last, but not least--SHAZZAN. And, as far as this baby-boomer is concerned, those cartoons lived up to their advertising.Having grown up on live-action fantasy swashbucklers, like "the Thief of Baghdad" (starring Sabu), switching my devotion to an animated version was no problem. No matter how formidable the evil magician-of-the-week might be, Shazzan would almost always laugh in his or her face. Literally! The one exception was the time when Nancy was temporarily disintegrated by an Arabian Nights version of Captain Hook.Man! Did he look p.o.'d when he demanded her return.There were, however, two episodes I considered even more exciting. One involved a wizard who controlled giant hawks made out of glass. The other involved a necromancer with the power to create levitating zombies! Both had dubbed-in scream effects that I found very loud (and very scary), back then.H-B could never do a remake nowadays, of course. You'd have the ACLU complaining about unfair, Arab-bashing stereotypes. You'd have religious ultra-conservatives complaining about the glorification of pagan superstitions. And, you'd probably even have celebrity animal-rights advocates, like Kim Basinger, complaining about the cruel and inhumane exploitation of flying camels! To which I say: long live nostalgia!
bcolquho I, too, find this show a guilty pleasure. Shazzan is what Robin Williams' genie in the Disney version of Aladdin, aspires to be, and it's a good show. A classic of '60s animation. It begins with an announcer intoning "Inside a cave off the coast of Maine..." It's the story of Chuck and Nancy. They're a brother and sister. They find a mysterious ring in a chest. The ring is in two halves. When joined, it forms the word "Shazzan." Shazzan's a genie complete with mohawk, goatee, and Mr. Clean earring. They can't be returned home by Shazzan until they deliver the ring to its rightful owner.
shaunhenderson I gotta admit, this show is a guilty pleasure. Shazzan's jolly demenor, cool goatee and quotable "Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!" in the face of any situation is irresistable. Only in the sixties could you get away with stuff like this. Every badguy in the show is Shrill-voiced bong-smoker who, invariably, is green. And Shazzan's approach to problem solving is priceless:Green sultan calls up flying monkeys, Shazzan turns the monkeys into bugs, Sultan turns the bugs into screeching harpies, Shazzan turns the harpies into cheese, and so on...You gotta wonder if this is a kids' cartoon or a relaistic depiction of what Joe Barbera actually thought he was seeing. If you haven't seen it yet, and it's on, you could do far worse than to spend an afternoon with Shazzan.
